To Be With You Again Lyrics - Steeldrivers

I cannot wait for dawn to break 

I must be on my way 

Before I pass this way again 

Be many a dog, dog day 

The sheriff does not know my face 

He does not know my name 

But before the sun goes down again 

He'll know them just the same 

One kiss before I leave you 

And one more for the wind 

Every day I hope and pray 

To be with you again 

Between a poor man's word and a rich man's gold 

Whose chances would you choose? 

The judge and jury close their eyes 

And justice don't come through 

I'll run from what I haven't done 

'Cause the long arm of the law 

Got a silver spade that'll dig my grave 

In Fort Smith Arkansas 

One kiss before I leave you 

And one more for the wind 

Every day I hope and pray 

To be with you again 

Down along the railroad tracks 

Waitin' in the weeds 

The first freight train to the leave the yard 

Will be the one for me 

I'll find a place on the boxcar roof 

Where the wind cuts cold and deep 

I don't need no railroad man 

To catch me in my sleep 

One kiss before I leave you 

And one more for the wind 

Every day I hope and pray 

To be with you again 

To be with you again
